To ensure a resilient electricity network, Tunisia is investing in modern, secure infrastructure. The ELMED interconnection project, which will link Tunisia to Italy by 2028, will play a key role in stabilizing energy supply, while supporting the energy transition in Tunisia and Europe.
In 2022, only 3% of Tunisia's electricity is generated from renewables, including hydroelectric, solar, and wind energy. While STEG continues to resist private investment in the sector, Parliament's 2015 energy law encourages IPPs in renewable energy technologies.
“ By fostering renewable energy development, TEREG will strengthen Tunisia's position in clean energy, creating economic opportunities and ensuring long-term energy security,” said Alexandre Arrobbio, World Bank Country Manager for Tunisia. “ This project reflects our strong partnership with Tunisia and supports its sustainable development goals.
In Tunisia, over 95% of electricity generation relies on gas, while all renewable sources—hydropower, solar, and wind—combined account for about 4% only (Figure 1). The national energy plan aims to increase this share to 35% by 2030, and at least 80% by 2050.
